Gardening – Eggplant Harvest

By Cynthia Sax on September 24, 2024

This was our first year growing eggplant and we had some adventures. (grins)

We started the plants late as we had a tough time finding seeds. (We’ve already stocked next year’s seeds, having learned this lesson). Then when the plants were about calf high, the wild bunny ate every single plant down to their very stems.

We put cages around those stems and lowered our expectations for the eggplant harvest. I didn’t think we’d get ANY eggplants. The Dear Wonderful Hubby was more optimistic.

I am happy to say… I was wrong. We have a LOT of eggplants on the plants and the weather forecast is heat and sun for October so they should grow to harvest size.

The Dear Wonderful Hubby and I LOVE eggplant and we’ll definitely grow it again next year!

Gardening – Practice Years

By Cynthia Sax on August 7, 2024

This is the first year we grew eggplant and squashes.

The zucchini gave us produce. The eggplant and the butternut squash have absolutely nothing on the vine.

We made mistakes.

We started the eggplant too late. Then we didn’t realize that our wild bunny would love eating the plants.

With the butternut squash, we didn’t prune some of the male flowers to allow more female flowers to bud.

We also had weather issues. It was cool and damp and all the butternut squash female flowers that DID form rotted off.

I’m disappointed but this lack of production isn’t a surprise. The first year of growing anything is, what I think of as, a practice year. Mistakes will happen. Plants will die. Other plants won’t produce.

We’ve learned and it should be a little better growing year next year.
